For an integrable Tonelli Hamiltonian with $d\ (d\geq 2)$ degrees of freedom, we show that all of the Lagrangian tori can be destroyed by analytic perturbations which are arbitrarily small in the $C^{d-\delta}$ topology.

We prove that the group of compactly supported symplectomorphisms of the standard symplectic ball admits a continuum of linearly independent real-valued homogeneous quasimorphisms. In addition these quasimorphisms are Lipschitz in the Hofer…

In this paper we consider minimal Lagrangian submanifolds in $n$-dimensional complex space forms. More precisely, we study such submanifolds which, endowed with the induced metrics, write as a Riemannian product of two Riemannian manifolds,…

We prove that the product of equators $S^{1} \times S^{1}$ in $S^{2} \times S^{2}$ is globally volume minimizing under Hamiltonian deformations.

Hamiltonian minimality (H-minimality) for Lagrangian submanifolds is a symplectic analogue of Riemannian minimality. A Lagrangian submanifold is called H-minimal if the variations of its volume along all Hamiltonian vector fields are zero.…

We deform a minimal disk in $\mathbb{R}^4$ with a branch point into symplectic minimally immersed disks with only transverse double points.

We show that a topologically minimal disk in a tetrahedron with index $n$ is either a normal triangle, a normal quadrilateral, or a normal helicoid with boundary length 4(n+1). This mirrors geometric results of Colding and Minicozzi.

Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangians are Lagrangian submanifolds that are critical points of the volume functional under Hamiltonian deformations. They can be considered as a generalization of special Lagrangians or Lagrangian and minimal…

Chekanov's exotic tori have been playing an important role in symplectic geometry as they are the only known examples of Lagrangian tori in ${\mathbb{C}}^2$ that are not Hamiltonian isotopic to a product torus. In this paper, we explore the…

Let L be a D-dimensional submanifold of a 2D-dimensional exact symplectic manifold (M, w) and let f be a symplectic diffeomorphism onf M. In this article, we deal with the link between the dynamics of f restricted to L and the geometry of L…

We establish the uniqueness up to Hamiltonian isotopy of the Lagrangian spheres in some four dimensional Stein manifolds.

An order four automorphism of a Lie algebra gives rise to an integrable system discussed by Terng. We show that solutions of this system may be identified with certain vertically harmonic twistor lifts of conformal maps of surfaces in a…

In 1993, Y.-G. Oh proposed a problem whether standard Lagrangian tori in C^n are volume minimizing under Hamiltonian isotopies of C^n. In this article, we prove that most of them do not have such property if the dimension n is greater than…

Motivated by work of the first author, this paper studies symplectic embedding problems of lagrangian products that are sufficiently symmetric. In general, lagrangian products arise naturally in the study of billiards. The main result of…

We extend a packing result of R. Hind and E. Kerman for integral Lagrangian tori in $\mathbb{S}^{2} \times \mathbb{S}^{2}$ to the Del Pezzo surfaces $(\mathbb{D}_{n}, \omega_{\mathbb{D}_{n}})$ for $n = 1, \dots, 5$. An integral torus is one…

We study the question of how many embedded symplectic or Lagrangian tori can represent the same homology class in a simply connected symplectic 4-manifold.

We define new Hamiltonian isotopy invariants for a monotone Lagrangian torus embedded in a symplectic 4-manifold. We show that, in the standard symplectic 4-space, these invariants distinguish a monotone Clifford torus from a Chekanov…

The main theme of this paper is to use toric degeneration to produce distinct homogeneous quasimorphisms on the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms. We focus on the (complex $n$-dimensional) quadric hypersurface and the del Pezzo surfaces,…

We determine the Lagrangian monodromy group L(T) and the smooth monodromy group S(T) of a Clifford torus T in the symplectic 4-space. We show that L(T) is isomorphic to the infinite dihedral group, and S(T) is generated by three…

We apply the method of filling with holomorphic discs to a 4-dimensional symplectic cobordism with the standard contact 3-sphere as a convex boundary component. We establish the following dichotomy: either the cobordism is diffeomorphic to…
